About this podcast

The Gathering With Roger B.

Roger B.

The Gathering’s talks are generally tied to one or more of the 12 Steps, but are always guided by spiritual concepts, principles and ideas common to most faiths. Topics are drawn from a variety of sources: the 12 steps, many of the well-known wisdom texts, science and other teachers that speak to a spiritual solution to life's challenges. About Roger B. Roger has been in recovery for over 43 years and has spent thousands of hours in service, sharing his experience, strength and hope. He has created curriculum for treatment centers, and lead workshops and retreats throughout the United States and Canada. Roger is a certified Spiritual Director, and offers insight into spiritually-based living skills that are relevant to all people – whether in recovery or not. Roger is the first to admit that his long-term sobriety was brought about by the “trial-and-error method.” His experience reveals what has worked, and - perhaps more importantly - what has not worked, but taught him valuable life lessons.

Harnessing Basic Instincts for a Healthier Recovery with Roger B.

“These instincts are how we improve our lives, step by step by step, but they're not how we define ourselves, they're the tools we use.”

What role do our basic instincts play in recovery? In this episode of 'The Gathering with Roger B.', Roger dives into the importance of understanding and managing our primal urges. With over 43 years of recovery experience, Roger shares how instincts can lead to addictive behaviors if not properly balanced. He delves into the ways fear and hidden agendas can shape our responses and offers practical advice on cultivating self-awareness.

By tapping into the principles of the 12 Steps, listeners can learn to use their instincts as powerful tools for personal growth. Whether you're new to recovery or have been on the journey for years, Roger's insights offer valuable lessons on turning basic instincts into allies rather than adversaries.
